The arrogance in his tone only made the demon heirs more convinced of his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who else but someone with the strength to back it up would be so arrogant?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they probably didn’t know about Damon’s arrogance, he was arrogant regardless of the situation—it was in his blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it pride or vanity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon would say he prided himself on having no pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bakemon shook his head and walked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I alone would fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon nodded, his gaze fixed on the silver-haired demon before him. His attribute was strong, but Damon had no intention of letting him use it, or anything else in his arsenal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would dominate the demon’s mind and subjugate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was always the possibility that Bakemon might use a magical artifact capable of resisting Demon Dominate’s control, but that didn’t matter much to Damon. If he did, Damon would still crush him the good old-fashioned way, with his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which was good, since it would meet the level of requirement expected with the demon heirs present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it would be troublesome if he fights to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silence spread through the arena as the area before them was cleared of everyone and everything. It was just Damon and Bakemon now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kashi watched the standoff with Manata by his side. Amon remained illuminated by the bright light from above, his dark, faceless form still and unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bakemon raised his foot to take a step. A sonic boom echoed as he spread his wings, giving himself more lift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon didn’t move. His form remained still even as the massive booms from Bakemon’s magic reached him. Slowly, he raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dominate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce will of the Dominator surged forward, piercing Bakemon’s mind. Then, in that split second, Damon took a step, appearing right in front of him with the Flash Step skill. Grabbing Bakemon by the horn, he slammed him into the ground face-first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge crater formed beneath his feet as the demon heir’s face shattered the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon lifted him effortlessly and tossed him aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I wanted it, you would be dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bakemon stood up with a bleeding nose, his face covered in soot, yet he smiled, his grin stretching from ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was right. He had confirmed what he wanted to know. This was surely Domination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bakemon didn’t attack. The fact that he was only smashed into the ground was mercy enough. The Dominator of legend would have demanded an arm or a leg—if he was in a good mood—for even daring to challenge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes turned toward Damon’s still figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He must be in a great mood... I was lucky...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bowing his head, he fell to one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I yield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon raised his eyebrows, though no one could see it beneath his faceless form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bakemon wasn’t a fool. He smiled slightly, knowing that if this truly was Ashcroft, there was no one in this arena capable of defeating him. Surely, this was all part of some greater plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This must be Lady Paimon’s reason for bringing us all here.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept his expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I have to live and alert my father. Paimon is trying to gain favor with the Dominator... it must be part of a larger plan to change the seating of the Demon Lords.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts raced, but his reply to Damon came quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have acknowledged that only you are worthy of leading us demons in this war game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon didn’t really know what was in this demon’s head, but he didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This worked for him just fine. He would use them well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other demon heirs fell to their knees, accepting this new leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this action, Damon heard a low chime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have leveled up]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was his level-up requirement: to subjugate seventy-two demons. However, it never specified what kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon had assumed it referred to demon kin, but it seemed he had to dominate them, so he had put it off to focus on completing the chain quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Here I thought I had to violate their minds and enslave them.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system chimes continued until he heard another notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have awakened Domination Fragment: Frost Dominate]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damon kept his expression calm, but inwardly he was surprised. This was the first time he had awakened a skill unrelated to his shadow after leveling up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this related to my Domination attribute?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had devoured and obtained Ashcroft’s attribute, and Ashcroft possessed the ability to dominate virtually everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel a new facet of the Domination attribute taking form within him. Its control deepened, his aura becoming colder, heavier, and more overwhelming than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was eager to test this new power, but he remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the kneeling demons, he waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They slowly stood up, though some of them seemed to wonder why Bakemon had given in without a full fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed they weren’t satisfied with Damon’s display of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, it must have looked like Bakemon simply forfeited after one exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have seemed as if Damon had caught him off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ahhh, I really can’t have dissent so early in the game.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, that was fine. It was a good thing he had Tyrant Mastery, he could act like a tyrannical ruler if needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does anyone else here have an opinion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke as Damon walked through their ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His demon horde snarled at them, watching with hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His horde was intimidating, perhaps that was the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are free to challenge me for my position.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, no one spoke. Damon stopped in front of a burly demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his finger, he pointed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You seem to have an opinion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon lifted his battle axe with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You seem strong, but clearly Lord Bakemon held back to avoid infighting among us, especially since we are so outnumbered by the goddess race. You are—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were the last words he ever spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and his axe were now forever frozen, transformed into a solid block of ice where Damon had pointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Frost Dominate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chilling air that followed silenced everyone, their fear palpable at this ruthless display. But that wasn’t all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, the demon heir’s frozen form began to sink, devoured by hungry shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have slain Netel Ipos]\u003C\u002Fp>",1059,"2026-05-30T02:59:59.935Z","2026-06-01T04:30:06.958Z",1,"novelbin.me","ea82a11a5809cecd91530453900e5d800c4ba4bad83bb264fe9e85008ef24d90","my-living-shadow-system-devours-to-make-me-stron-chapter-698","my-living-shadow-system-devours-to-make-me-stron-chapter-696",1048,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-living-shadow-system-devours-to-make-me-stron-cover.jpg"]
